me Wicked Male Flirt.
From LONDON Society.

The male flirt is an individual not CON
fined to our own days, nor yet even to our
own century From time immemorial this
terrible yet fascinating person has secured
society Just as the pirates and buccaneers of
old are said to have secured the seas with
their powerful and irresistible charm. There
is a weird attraction about him, fearful
Joy at his approach, a horrible and unnatu-
raj delight at the bare mention of his name.
Like the vampire of German fairy lore he
subjugates the senses and curdles the blood
at one and the same time; he is
delightful and yet charming, catching
and yet appalling, all at once. The
male firt is the terror of mothers, and the
detestaton Of the whole race of elderly
aunts and chaperones of all kinds. we have
all in turn been warned against him, all
cautioned to steel our hearts to his advances
and to barrcade the portals of our souls
against his seYpent-like depredations. Yet
so contradictions and so foolish is the nature
of women that there is not one of us, young
or old, who has not at some time or another
of our lives fallen willing victim to this
seductvely dangerous individual. The
male flirC is made so neither by practice nor
yet by education-he is born SO;
Just as genius. or cooking, or mathematics
is born with n man, so is flirting
in its higher branches implanted within him
by nature. lie is not often handsome man,
although he is invariably pleasant one,
and he is not, as a rule popular among his
fellow men Fathers and brothers eye him
with suspicion az something which they do
not wholly comprehend, while husbands
turn cold shoulders upon his Establishments,
or at best treat him with freezing politeness
Men, in short, look upon him askance, and
one and all unite in running him down.
but, perhaps, that is only because they are
Jealous of him.
